Parthasarathi Gets Another Move Through

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With the bubble in sight, Shardul Parthasarathi once again applied his big bet style and put Ha Thanh Duong to the test. On the {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs} river, Parthasarathi made it 130,000 to go with just 10,000 behind. Duong tanked for a long time and eventually folded.

In the meanwhile, Soonchul Hwang and Anh Quoc Nguyen were eliminated to bring the field down to the money bubble.

Yu Doubles Just Before the Bubble

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With some 40,000 in the middle to the {q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades} turn, Winfred Yu was all-in for 142,500 against the red-hot running Changhwan Lee.

Yu turned over the {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for the top pair and top kicker while Lee had a straight draw with {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}. The {a-Hearts} river only improved Yu and he joked "I thought this was short deck and I was almost drawing dead."

Dinh Tien Van opened the action with a raise to 15,000 and Jeremy Touboulic then three-bet to what appeared to be 55,000. Vo Ho Duong Thai got her last 55,500 into the middle and Van vaulted out of his chair to see the stack of Touboulic on the other side of the dealer before he got out of the way.

Vo Ho Duong Thai: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Jeremy Touboulic: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The dominated pair remained behind all the way on the {k-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Hearts} board and that spelled the end for Thai.

No Escape for Kong This Time

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Seongsu Kong eventually jammed for his last 31,000 and found a willing customer one seat over in Dennis Ng.

Seongsu Kong: {a-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Dennis Ng: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Kong handed his smart phone to the media from South Korea to film the outcome and then demanded for a seven. However, the wish wasn't granted on the {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades} board as he waved goodbye into the camera with an "ITM in the Main Event".

Wu Takes a Nasty Blow

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Heads-up to the {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop, a raising war broke out and somehow, Minh Anh Nguyen ended up all-in and at risk for 158,000 to get called by Jack Wu.

Minh Anh Nguyen: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Jack Wu: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The {a-Clubs} turn was a brick but Nguyen pulled a rabbit out of the hat with the {q-Spades} river to double, as Wu's face dropped to the floor.
